License Administration Console
The License Administration Console lets you manage and monitor your Citrix licenses through a web browser.
Use the Dashboard to:
- Monitor licenses, license activity, and alerts
Use the Administration area to:
- Administer licenses
- Configure alerts
- Import licenses
- Log license management activities
- Secure the console server
- View system information
Important
The Licensing Administration Console no longer supports user configuration. User Configuration has been moved to the Citrix Licensing Manager \ > Settings > Accounts. For more information, see Settings.
What types of accounts are added at installation
A default administrator account is created during the installation of the License Administration Console. Use the administrator account to first log on to the console and then configure more users.
During the installation of the License Administration Console, accounts are added based on the machine membership. For workgroup machine installations, computer\InstallUser and BUILTIN\Administrators are added. For Active Directory installations, domain\InstallUser** and BUILTIN\Administrators are added. You can remove any of these accounts after installation, but ensure that there is at least one administrator.
Toggle between the Dashboard and Administration views from links in the top right area of the console. Access to the Administration area requires administration privileges and is password-protected.
Open the console on a Windows computer
